Inside Mac Games has posted an interview with Cyan's Rand Miller. IMG's Alex McLarty had a chance recently to sit down with Cyan's co-founder Rand Miller. Cyan's current project, Uru Live from on-demand gaming service GameTap, takes the world of Myst into the online, massively multiplayer arena.

Here's a clip from the interview:

Alex What made Myst so popular?

Rand A lot of it, of course, was being in the right place at the right time. We had a product on CD-ROM that anyone could play, and it was a great way to show off your computer. Beyond that I think it's actually related to the precious question - we found that there were millions of people who enjoyed being entertained by exploring an alternate reality at a not so frenetic pace, without the fear of being killed.
